Discovering the Lady Dior Noire Affair

Have you watched the Lady Noire Affair on the Lady Dior Web site yet? It’s a mini film noir inspired by the world of Alfred Hitchcock, with whom Christian Dior himself worked on the movie Stage Fright.

This intriguing, dark, and sexy short stars actress Marion Cotillard, who won an Oscar for embodying Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose. I couldn’t help wondering if Vanity Fair had anything to do with Dior’s choice of Cotillard for its leading lady: she was photographed reviving the infamous shower scene in Hitchcock’s thriller Psycho for the March 2008 Hitchcock-themed Hollywood portfolio.
